A western Nebraska nonprofit corporation that provides social services says that it is filing for bankruptcy protection from its creditors, the Associated Press reported on Friday. The agency is Gering, Neb.-based Community Action Partnership of Western Nebraska and it runs more than 45 programs, including Head Start and a medical clinic. Its money comes from fees, grants, fundraising and government sources. Interim executive director Margo Hartman says that the intention is "to get this into a stable spot and keep providing services." Hartman said that there would be no immediate effect on employees or services but says some programs eventually could be eliminated if they aren't financially viable.
